UNSPSC 85682938: Replacement of skull with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of skull with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0NR03JZ

UNSPSC 85682938 Replacement of skull with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local government procurement. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged to this code — including independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — are administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and occupational health contracting. None involve surgical skull replacement or cranial implant procurement, the work the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the administrative services actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for healthcare services outside their standard taxonomy. Until opportunities actually soliciting cranial or neurological surgical implants, prosthetics, or related medical devices appear under this code, it carries no actionable signal for firms pursuing orthopedic, neurosurgical, or medical-device business with state and local governments.
